PATIENT SERVICES SECURITY

We're serious about security

Your security is very important to us. We take a number of measures to help safeguard you while you are using Patient Services. This page explains how to find out whether you're connected to Patient Services securely. You can then have confidence that you are using the real Patient Services site and all your communication with it is safe from eavesdroppers.

This site uses a security certificate issued by a trusted authority. This is a way to prove the site is genuine and to tell your browser to use strong encryption for every page you view. You will see the same technique used by online banks and shops.

Please check the certificate and familiarise yourself with how it looks in your browser. Whenever you use the site, check to make sure the certificate is still there. If it isn't, don't use the site and report the problem to your GP, who will bring it to our attention.
